Nevermind, he was burned, I went back to the cage just after I wrote the post and he was just lying there and he had a dark grey colour. there was also a small whiter area on his back. I then phoned the vet and he said that I must run cold tap water on him for at least 10 minutes. I've done this now (I now have an angry iggie) and he doesnt seem lethargic or anyhing. I'll take him into the vet tomorrow anyways and I'll run him in cold water again just now.

Is this the proper advice for my iggie because the vet was not a proper reptile vet. His answer was very quick and certain as if he definately knew what he was talking about. Has anyone been told different advice?

Man, my heart is still racing from when I first saw him climb the heating. I feel so bad. But at least I've learned from it.
